Beware of THE GRIM BRIM!
My friend Marty of The GodBeast Customs Just sent me some pics of the first casts from the mold for The "Grim Brim" figure me and my friend Gabe have been collaborating with him on.
"Grim Brim" is a hillbilly munchin' mutant maniac thought up by Gabe. Anyone who knows me knows my love of hillbilly aesthetic, knows it was mandated that I start collaborating and sculpting this crazy little figure as soon as I could. I'm pretty pumped with how the sculpt came out and I'm super pumped with how the casts Marty is pumping out are looking.
If you're as excited as me about these awesome little dudes then you are in luck! We will be releasing a small batch at this year's C2E2 at the Nerd City booth. More details will be popping up as the event draws closer. Can't wait to get these in everyone's hands!

WOOLY'S T-shirt design
Even though my design for Paste Apparel's WOOLY's competition didn't get the win, It's still a design I'm pretty proud of it and had a balst doing it. who knows maybe if any of you guys checking this out sent some messages their way they might even get the kick in the butt they needed to go ahead and make these anyway, heh.
Awesomeness On The Near Horizon!
So I had a ton of awesome update news on some projects that I either have a part of or have commissioned with other artists today and thought I would update everyone on whats been going on
First, if any of you remember my initial POST about the Phantom Shithouse Shirts. Well, thanks to all of you that supported the project they met their goal and got produced. the Paste Apparel guys finished up the first set of orders today and if you bought one, you should be hearing from them soon. I'm Super pumped about how these turned out and can't wait to rock mine when I get them tomorrow, hopefully. The Preorder will still be up for a while if you missed out initially as well.
The second bit of OMFG related news I found today is that the awesome GITD sets are on their way. George Gaspar of October Toys said they should be on their way and be ready to ship out in July. After and initial kickstarter order is fulfilled they should be up for sale at the october toys site along with hopefully a restock of the flesh colorway.
The last bit of news to share is my friend Ralph Niese has been working on a commissioned Egg Qee for me for a while now and he finally posted up finished pictures of it today. Ralph does an awesome job incorporating his awesome illustrative abilities into all his sculpting and custom work which really makes for a fresh and fun style that looks like it popped right off a comic book page. Hopefully I will have this baby in my hands soon so I can share my own pictures and a more in depth review with you all soon. Can't wait!

the Newest OMFG Game: Shitstacker!
I've just found a fun new game to play if you have multiple sets of OMFG figures or specifically Phantom Shithouses. Stack em' as high as you can! So far my record is 6 figure but I'm sure if you have the stock and patience you get more. Has anyone else figured out some other fun things you can do with the figures?
El Bait Shop Shirt Design
El Bait Shop is pretty much the best bar ever and the one that I frequent the most in town. They have a fun atmosphere and one of the best beer selections I have seen anywhere so when they announced that they would be having a contest for a new t-shirt design to sell at the bar I was pretty pumped.They still haven't announce the winner of the contest, but I'm hoping they dig my homage to their great selection of brews and what my happy belly tends to look like(sans glassware) when I leave after a good night with friends there and don't have to worry bout driving home ;). thanks for taking a gander and keep your fingers crossed that we see this hanging above the bar soon
EDIT - they announced a winner a couple days ago and since I was not contacted I assume it wasn't me. congrats to all the competitors. anyone else interested in producing an awesome beer belly t-shart? any bar name can replace el bait shop ha! seriosly though : |
